gws-workflow — Claude Code command: Google Workspace workflows
A Claude slash command that runs Google Workspace CLI operations: standup reports, meeting prep, email triage.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command google-workspace/gws-workflowWhat gws-workflow does
Arguments come in as [resource] [method] [flags] and go straight to gws workflow. The command bundles helper scenarios: a standup summary built from today's meetings and open tasks, prep for your next meeting with agenda and attendees, turning a Gmail message into a Google Tasks entry, a weekly digest, and announcing a Drive file in a Chat space.
You need the Google Workspace CLI installed first. Run gws auth status to confirm authentication, and gws workflow --help to see the available commands. Skip that check and the command fails on the first call.
The flow is deliberate: verify the gws version, inspect the target method with gws schema, then build the call with --params for query and path values and --json for the request body. Pagination goes through --max-results or --page-token. Tool access is limited to Bash, Read, Write and Edit.
